The correct option is C A-iii B-i C-iv D-ii

Natural/traditional methods of contraception do not involve use of any device, pills, etc.

Male condoms are barriers made up of rubber/thin latex. They cover the penis to prevent the introduction of sperms into the female genital tract. Similarly, female condoms are also made of rubber/thin latex but they are inserted into the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix during coitus.

After parturition, during intense lactation period, the mother does not ovulate due to the absence of menstrual cycle. So the chances of pregnancy during this period (around 6 months after delivery) is very less.
